Company

Chocolate Audio started its operations in early 2003 when Simone Coen, the company founder, entered the studio to sample top-studio-cat Elio Rivagli’s drum kit for his own work. The results turned out to be so good that he decided to deliver it to a wider audience. Imperial Drums, marketed by Scarbee, was born.

The XL version of Imperial Drums was honored with 5-stars on Sound On Sound and with a very good review on the now-gone Virtual Instruments Magazine, where SID XL is mainly praised for its quality and lifelike rendition of its samples.
